COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe two eleven mark, based on the medieval symbol for steel, appears only on Steel Reserve(R) High Gravity lager. We use nearly twice the ingredients of many normal lagers & brew for over twice as long as many quality beers.

Two fingers of head with descent retention. A few bubbles floating up in the clear, light straw colored body.
Smells like wet grain.
Tastes like malt, sweet but not overbearing. Not a hint of bitterness.
Light body, low carbonation with a slight stickiness to it.
For a high gravity lager itís one of the better ones.

Pours nicely with a thin head that disappears quickly. It's light in color, and has no particularly strong aroma. It has a sweet, malty taste. Overall it's very drinkable and very good value for money.

Can. Pours nicely, I have to say, and looks clear and golden with a moderate white head on there. Nose smells like corn and gym socks and should not be considered beer. Tastes sickly sweet and would make for a really sticky spill. Bleh.

24 oz can poured into a pint glass.
A: Pours a piss-yella color. The head doesnít last long - itís about a finger high, white in color, and very bubbly. At least it leaves some lacing behind!
S: Smells, in essence, like cheap white wine. The aroma could have been FAR worse - smelling like cheap white wine is a lot better than smelling of corn, cooked veggies, and failure.
T: Same with the taste - I donít love it by any means, but I can definitely drink this. There is a half-decent corn flavor here (like a good pre-pro pils), followed by bits of cream and cheap white wine. Honestly, the more I drink it, the more the generic sweetness becomes a bother instead of any shitty off-notes.
M: Thereís a slight prickle on the palate from the booze, which comes out the more I drink it. That, and itís rather sweet finishing - too sweet, actually. In the realm of craft beer, the feel would fail utterly; but in the realm of malt likka, it reigns like a street king looking over his bitch-ass subjects.
O: Iíd rather drink this over the typical BMC stalwarts (sans Miller High Life, maybe). It certainly isnít a good beer, BUUUT itís great for getting drunk on the cheap. I donít hate this one, thatís for sure.

Poured from a 24 OZ can into a tulip glass (I know, opposite ends of the spectrum). This is not a bad beer, it is t=stigmatized for being a gas station malt liquor but it is pretty good and it has a real smooth flavor and palate. if you are not a malt liquor drinker but would like to experience a fairly good beer I would try this or a Colt 45.

Can @ a neighborís house. Not sure if I should even give a review on this...because I had just had two Optimators and was pretty buzzed by the time I tried this brew.
To me it tasted like a sour fruity Belgian ale...which I donít like.
I donít drink very often and was blasted by the time I finished it.
